I would say go to your senators website, a simple google would work. Look for the us senate webpage.Ratix wrote:I like the part about writing to Congress, and supporting groups in favor of fair use laws. Where could we find information about such groups, and how to contact/support them if we wanted to?

I'm not about to go telling other people to avoid certain artists. I'm simply not going to go out of my way to listen to their work, because any music I listen to has a chance of being used in an amv. They don't want that and I don't want that, so it's best all around for me to avoid them entirely. If Remedy or one of Creed's songs happens to play on 97.1 (they'd never play Evanescence) I'm not going to change the station. I just won't go looking for the cd so I can use the songs in an amv. The only reason I buy cds is to use songs for amvs. Why wouldn't I stop buying them for these artists? They asked me to stop. I respect that.

I am not entirely sure, but my guess is that since this is a small group of artists under the label, there is likely just the one attorney (maybe two) working for the whole group. My guess is also that the attorney cannot discuss the goings-on of their clients (the bands/label) to other attorneys because of the attorney-client privilege. This means that lawyers cannot discuss the case with others unless the others are directly involved with the case.
The labels themselves, on the other hand, can discuss with other labels what they have encountered. However, my guess is that labels don’t generally talk with each other that much and also the discussion must land on the desk of a lawyer before action can be taken.
Again, this is my guess as to how things work. I hope this helps.
